I know almost nothing about law, but that has to be illegal in some way, right?

  Perhaps not criminally, as some nugget buried deep in the Terms of Service probably gives them a contractual right to do this with the nominal assent of the users, but even if it's contractually valid it strikes me unconscionable and open to challenge in civil court. It also seems like a spectacularly self-defeating business strategy, but then again I thought the same thing about all those 'one weird trick...' adverts.
